The arrest comes just 28 days after Lavalley was one of seven people arrested at 129 Furnace Lane, Pembroke. At the March 4 arrest, he was charged with heroin possession and heroin possession with intent to distribute.

“He was out on $5,000 cash bail, but he skipped out of court,” said Pembroke Police Lt. David Clauss. “Now, here is he, dealing drugs again.”

After Lavalley missed his court date, police put out a warrant for his arrest.

According to the police report, detectives were told by a confidential source that Lavalley was dealing heroin again. An investigation was initiated and police checked out areas he was known to frequent, including 22 Pilgrim Rd., Pembroke.

The report said on April 1, around noontime, a White Chevrolet Lumina pulled in front of the house, and shielded the view of officers at the scene. It went down the street and officers saw Lavalley step out of the Lumina and get into the passenger seat of a Blue Honda Accord. Very soon afterwards, Lavalley left the Honda and returned to the Chevrolet. The car then drove past 22 Pilgrim Rd. and pulled to the side of the road near the intersection of Puritan Road.

Police said Lavalley exited the vehicle while putting money into his pocket. Police believed a drug deal had just taken place.

A police officer pulled up behind the Chevrolet, and an officer got out of the car and began approaching Lavalley.

Lavalley started running into the woods. While he ran, he tossed plastic bags out of his pockets.

According to police, officers chased Lavalley into the woods where he turned around after running into a thorn bush and ran right into an officer. He was then taken to the ground, he allegedly resisted arrest, but officers were able to eventually place his wrists in restraints.

Lavalley was searched and a bag of a brown powder was found on him. The powder later field-tested positive for heroin. Officers went back and found the bags he had tossed. There were seven bags, all of which contained a substance that field-tested positive for heroin.

The Chevrolet fled the scene, but was stopped at North Pembroke Elementary School. Megan Coyne, 19 and Lawrence Binda, 19 were both in the vehicle.

Police said Binda allegedly threw something out the window. Police said when they searched the area, they found a hypodermic syringe on the sidewalk.

Binda was searched and a plastic bag containing a white substance, which field-tested positive for cocaine was found on him.

Police told Binda he had paid Lavalley money he owed him. Police asked if he owed the money for heroin, and Binda said yes.

Coyne was released from the scene.

Lavalley was charged with intent to distribute heroin, possession of heroin, conspiracy to violate drug laws, and resisting arrest in addition to his default warrant arrest.

Binda was charged with conspiracy to violate drug laws, possession of cocaine, and littering from a motor vehicle (the syringe).

Lavalley is being held without bail, Binda is being held on $2,500 bail.

Clauss said that when someone is arrested on drug distribution charges, the police are sure to keep track of them.
